Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has dismissed reports suggesting that he is planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Labour Party (LP), describing the claims as “false, baseless, and unfounded”.
In a statement issued on Saturday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, the governor clarified that he neither held any meeting with Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State nor discussed plans to join the APC.
“The report that His Excellency, Governor Alex Otti, OFR, held a meeting with Governor Hope Uzodinma over his alleged planned defection to the APC is completely devoid of substance and should be disregarded,” Ekeoma said.
